* Try calling retentions (Not tech support) and begging a SH2 from them. You MAY get it for free as you're on 120meg but it's very dependant on which agent you get. Might be free, might not be. Some people are luckier than others, some have to just pay postage. I'd say try your luck.
* Ditch the DIR-615 and buy a better router with gigabit ports. There's a TP-link that's popular for about £50, or the router of choice is the Asus RT-N66U which can be had for about £100 depending on where you look.

F*ck that dude. Once again tech support have proven that they don't know anything and instead opted to screw up your wireless. I would ring up retentions, put in a complaint and say you have since found out that the dir615 can only do 100mbits so why didnt support tell you that and insist that they give you a shub2 for free. You are now on the top tier so there is a good chance you can wangle one out of them.
Failing that it is a shub1 in modem mode (don't use it for router or wireless at all) and a proper router attached to it. You can either go for what has been suggested above or take a look at this:

I am too ill to give my Linksys is awesome speech atm but suffice to say they are and this router is. £40 + p&p and you have got yourself a bargain.
